Playing another semi-finals here in Roland Garros means a lot to me.” He pocketed the third with a lone break in the seventh game. “But it’s just a quarter-finals match? But I think for me it’s better to face her on clay.” So I always try to tell young kids that, to dream big, and you never know when your moment is going to happen.” “It’s important that you don’t put yourself into a box. I just give myself a chance to be back on court in two days. “Please! No! No! No! The ball is touching the line. The ball is touching the line! Today I was close.” It’s going to be completely different match... “I’ve played him four times already in my career.

Casper Ruud, who is into his first Grand Slam semi-final at Roland Garros, speaks to ATPTour.com about his diet, the food he doesn't like, ...

They do a very, very good job and I always enjoy Austrian food with schnitzel and everything. I think I try to eat a little bit of green every day, either vegetables or salad. I always try to eat around an hour and a half or two hours before the match so that the food has time to sink and I don’t feel heavy or too full when I go out on court. There you find very good pasta, a good salad bar, good meat as well if you want to have that. But sushi is also one of my favourites, but I also have to say Italian food is on the top there. I didn’t like it too much when I was younger, but luckily I came to like it a little more as I’m getting older. Obviously on match days, I try to keep it very simple. I think maybe I add a little bit more dessert when I’m not in tournament weeks, but I’m quite a simple guy when it comes to eating. I always enjoy those things, but not too much. I always eat the same for lunch or dinner before a match. For best-of-five sets yes, I’d consider it more, but not too much I would say. I really like it and it’s not too difficult to make, actually.

Ruud kept his opponent under pressure, returning serve from well behind the baseline and giving himself time to run around the backhand, teeing off for booming returns. Ridding himself of any early jitters, Rune took a page out of his opponent’s book and took a huge step back behind the baseline; while Ruud’s first-serves regularly whizzed past him in the first set, Rune began to get more returns in play in the second to snap the Norwegian out of his rhythm. A 21-shot rally set the tone in the second game, with Ruud applying the pressure with his faster serve and heavier groundstrokes.

The second of the men's semifinal matches has been set at the French Open. Who do you think will win the battle of Marin Cilic vs Casper Ruud?

With a win here, Cilic could become just the 11th ATP player in the Open Era to reach a final at all four slams in his career, and in his current form it will be difficult for Ruud to stop him. Cilic is a player who has been here before though, twice a Slam finalist; he has what it takes to find a way to win this match and his tennis at times this week has been absolutely sublime. But that big match experience has served him well so far in Paris, where he has already scored two famous victories over Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev. Casper Ruud, who will be playing in his first Grand Slam semifinal, clearly has a bright future, but may be overawed by the occasion. Marin Cilic was pushed to five sets in his quarterfinal win over Andrey Rublev, but his aggressive style of play has served him well in Paris. Cilic has pounded 69 aces this week, including 33 in his last match. Nothing has come easy for Casper Ruud this week, playing at least four sets in four of his five matches. Marin Cilic won the US Open back in 2014, but this is his best Grand Slam performance since.

Cilic fired 33 aces and 88 winners past seventh-seeded Andrey Rublev in a 5-7, 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (10/2) win.

“I had met him three times and he is improving. Today I was close to the semi-final.” “I started the match well, but Holger raised his level of play, he came back and it was tough until the end,” said Ruud after beating the Dane for the fourth time in four meetings. The 19-year-old was bidding to become the first Danish man to reach the last-four in Paris and first at any Slam since Jan Leschly at the 1967 US Championships. Rublev, who had lost to Cilic at the Australian Open in January, battled back with a crucial break in the eighth game of the fourth set. Cilic, the 2017 Wimbledon and 2018 Australian Open runner-up to Federer, had a match point saved in the ninth game of the decider but swept through the super tiebreaker.
